Seems like an unconventional topic of research, a popular portal for nurses conducted the World’s Most Unscientific Survey! Around 37,034,686 nurses participated in the survey and asked to answer one simple question - What phrase you say most during the day?
The responses were overwhelming and surprising too as some of them shared conventional, practical, useful answers that made us to take them out as clear outliers. Next was the remaining ones and from approximately 65,023 responses, we found the below listed phrases said by nurses more frequently as compared to others. Let’s take a look here -
- "No problem! I'd be happy to change your TV station again. What else would I do with all of my free time?"
- "Sorry, your insurance doesn’t cover the good Tylenol."
- "You won’t feel a thing."
- "You’ll have to ask your doctor that. And after he answers, could you clue me in?"
- "This won’t hurt a bit. Trust me, all the times I've attended this procedure, I've never felt a thing!"
- "Ring that call bell one more time and just see what happens." (Generally not said very loudly.)
- "No, I will not give you a sponge bath."
- "And how do you wipe your butt at home?"
- "You're going to feel a little prick…unless you don't settle down, in which case it's square needle time... those suckers hurt!"
- And the best one, always said with a big smile: "I’m sorry to wake you, Doctor.."
If you are a nurse and often say something that sounds unusual or rare, list them in the comments. We would be glad to include and share them with the nursing fraternity.
